Lookup in a cache for contents of a given address depends on:
| Notation | Item |
|---|---|
| S | Number of sets |
| B | Cache line block size |
| E | Number of lines per cache set |
The number of lines per set determines (and is determined by) the total data capacity of the cache, C:
C = S * E * B (Sets * Lines/Set * Block Data size of each Line )
